British rock group the Coral formed in 1996 in Hoylake, a town on the
Wirral Peninsula just across the River Mersey from Liverpool. Credited with
igniting the guitar group revival in England, the six-member band boasted
three guitarists and presented a rich, spirited sound drawn from a variety
of influences like Motown, Merseybeat, psychedelia, country, and dub. Led
by the roguish baritone of singer/guitarist James Skelly with his younger
brother Ian Skelly on drums, the band's lineup consisted of guitarists Lee
Southall and Bill Ryder-Jones along with bassist Paul Duffy and organist
Nick Power. After discovering the band in a local pool hall, Alan Wills
launched the Deltasonic label specifically to release the Coral's music,
beginning with a 2001 single and a pair of EPs which led up to their
breakthrough 2002 self-titled debut LP.
After half a decade spent working on solo projects that usually involved
all the bandmembers anyway, The Coral regrouped to record their eighth
album, "Distance Inbetween". With new guitarist Paul Molloy of the Zutons
on board, the band aimed for a more organic, heavier sound than past
efforts. To that end, they recorded live in the studio, mostly using first
takes and adding minimal overdubs. They've given their spooky brand of
neo-psychedelia a slight overhaul, adding in some '70s influences and
stepping back from the slick, almost poppy sound of their previous album,
Butterfly House.
The result is their heaviest record yet, with Molloy and James Skelly
indulging in some maxed-out guitar duals and the rest of the band playing
it simple and tough. Half the album is dedicated to the kind of sneaky-good
psych-pop tunes The Coral have been cranking out for years; the
easy-rolling "Miss Fortune" and melancholy charmer "It's You" have the kind
of relaxed, very melodic appeal that their best work does. The latter track
features their stacked and finely burnished backing vocals, something that
the band isn't really known for, but something that this album really
focuses on to its benefit.
The rest of the album delves into moody, atmospheric, almost folky psych
that sounds like it was made out of wood smoke and memories. This is also
something the band has always been good at, and songs like "Beyond The Sun"
and "She Runs The River" (which again shows off their beautiful, almost
CSN&Y strong vocal harmonies) don't suffer at all from the lack of studio
trickery; in fact, they may benefit from the clarity and immediacy. The
entire record has a simple, direct feel that is new for the Coral; only
their "The Invisible Invasion" had a sound this good. "Distance Inbetween"
isn't quite on par with that album (an underappreciated hidden masterpiece
of modern spooky psych), but it's not far behind. Unlike a lot of bands
that seem to reunite just to cash in or repeat the past, The Coral came
back with a renewed focus and a new sound. That's impressive in itself, and
resulted in one of the band's best albums to date.
